Indonesia is an Islamic country where Hajj pilgrimage is a mandatory religious obligation for its Muslim citizens who can afford it. The government is responsible for arranging and facilitating the religious journey, which is undertaken annually by hundreds of thousands of Indonesians. In recent times, the government has made significant changes to the way the Hajj pilgrimage is conducted, including the introduction of the special Hajj program. In this article, we will discuss the latest PMA related to the implementation of the special Hajj program.
What is PMA?
PMA stands for Penanaman Modal Asing (Foreign Investment) and refers to policies developed by the Indonesian government to attract foreign investment in the country. When talking about the latest PMA, it refers to the latest government regulations that govern the organization and management of the Hajj pilgrimage, including the special Hajj program.
What is the Special Hajj Program?
The Special Hajj program is designed for Indonesians who are 60 years or older or have been on the waiting list for more than 10 years. It aims to facilitate the pilgrimage for those whose health and finances otherwise render them incapable of performing the Hajj. The program provides personalized health care services and accommodations, among other benefits.
Latest PMA on Special Hajj Program
The government has recently issued new PMA on the implementation of the special Hajj program. Some of the key changes are:
